Time Travel

Miss Becky Home Ecky has lived a lot of days. Today, I get to be reminded of just how many days I've lived since high school ended when my husband and I attend my 25th high school reunion.

I try to understand time and cannot. Sometimes minutes stretch to seem impossibly long. Othertimes it feels like you catapult over entire stretches of days in the blink of an eye.

Madeleine L'Engle writes in her nonfiction book, Walking on Water, about the true story of American astronauts from one of our early space ships who heard a program of nostalgic music over their sound system, and radioed NASA to thank whoever it was who had sent them the program. NASA was baffled: they had sent no such program. After much research, it was finally revealed that this particular radio program had been broadcast in the 1930s.

There is so much we still don't understand about time.
